Excellent Game! I thought the drawings and colors were great, the audio was helpful, the game was fun and the mood was good too.

Great looking pixel art and atmosphere. Fits the theme nicely and implemented well.

The map is huge! I got lost at the beginning...

I really like your game!
Enemies are not really threatening and challenging, but that is not something easy to do with such timing.

Only one thing that I didn't like: the pickup sound. We have to pickup wood very often, and the sound is too loud and 'rude'. Something smoother would have been perfect!

Good job on your game! :)

Wow! I jumped right into this game without reading the description, so I didn't expect the campfire to turn into a robot. THAT WAS AWESOME. Very cool that the sound dims when the robot is not in frame. Loved all the attention to detail (e.g. the snow footprints). This world is pretty huge! The dialogue between the characters is well-timed, too. Probably my favorite game for LD46 so far.

Funny game, I liked the mood^^

You achieved to polish it quite well, that's good to see :)

The game loop is quite quickly repetitive, but the small exotic gameplay phases like the lake and even the super simple Ice bloc breaking do a good job in breaking a little the repetivity.

Good job there!

Nice Job, I liked how Hearth's audio would adjust based on distance. The art style was simple and effective and the mechanics to chop the trees was fun! Great Work!

Thanks for the entry!

I was missing something to be really pulled in but in overall I had a feeling that there is some mystery going on so the narative was actualy good.

About the firebot. It would be nice to have a visualisation of how much power does he have so I could predict how much wood does he need. :)

Thank you for the sharing, i did enjoy my time with your game.

Thanks for this game, I really enjoyed it ! One of the best I played so far. There is a lot of work there, animations, graphics, enemies, 'mini games' etc. All of this in 48h, well done !

Super nice art bro, I love it. But the gameplay isn't super engaging, and I lost interest after like 5-10 minutes. But the robot is a pretty funny character, overall goodjob homie!

Great game - but I think some more hints could be helpful :)

The player also looks shakey when you move, which is a bit annoying.

I like how the campfire is a robot and can move by itself. That's a nice twist. Some music would also have been really great. Nice game!

I enjoyed the exploration in this title. The walking robot was really cool too. A few small issues. I was able to walk on the roof of the house, and when I saw a small little spaceship thing, the game crashed. Excellent work!

Wow, cool game! I liked the Art and that you used your game mechanics over and over again. Dont gonna lie, it took me a little until I realized you can destroy robots and doors with the axe xD I did not always get what my little companion said, so I felt lost, when I should go on the ice. And the roof tiles of your hut are not blocked so you can walk over them. But Its a very nice game and I really enjoyed playing it to the end :)

Excellent work! By far my favorite take on 'keeping a fire alive' I've seen so far, really clever to make it a little robot. Would have liked to see one of those big ones in the ice come out for a final showdown, but totally understandable given the deadline. Great environmental storytelling. My only nitpick was that the smallest circle for the axe was sometimes too small to react to.

Funny game and nice graphics! I did drown once (or 6 times) but I kept going and drown for the 7th time, then I gave up. But I think it was fun and I kept on for 7 times trying to get on to dry land again. But I failed! :) great job making a fun game!
